Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the fact that I got this money on time and it is helping me to run my program of building (long time dream) smoothly. Prior to this, yes! I had the plan but no means to kick start it.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt happy. This is because I received my money on time and realized that it was not a lie like the way some organizations come promising us but do not fulfill their promises. Instead, they take things from us.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first to buy some of iron sheets at Ugx 900000 that I plan to use when I build my house.
I then paid fees Ugx 300000 for my child who is doing her senior four.
I gave the balance of the money to my husband to pay up labor that is helping us to mold bricks.
